Tongtong asked through the curtain:

Is it cold outside?

"It's not cold, but this rain has been going on for quite a while."

Tongtong paused for a moment, then said:

"This rain may last much longer than you expect."

Ye Zi paused for a moment, then asked:

"Do you know anything about this?"

"Yes, I saw it online."

Ye Zi immediately remembered that during their chat yesterday, Tong Tong had mentioned the arrival of the rainy season and the dry season.

How long will it take?

"It can take anywhere from a dozen hours to two or three days, some people online say it's been a long time."

"How long?" Ye Zi exclaimed in surprise.

"It can take anywhere from a dozen hours to two or three days."

Ye Zi paused for a moment and then said:

"It will indeed take quite a long time."

Big Black wasn't just traveling; it was running, pulling its cart through the heavy rain.

The cart would occasionally lurch violently, and Ye Zi, her face dark, would pull on the leather rope in her hand to slow it down.

After the cart stopped, Yezi lifted the shaft, untied the oxen, and let Dahei move around on its own.

Then Ye Zi stood blankly in the rain. If it kept raining for more than ten hours, he really wouldn't be able to rest, because only a third of the time had passed. What would he do with the remaining two-thirds?

At this moment, Ye Zi finally remembered the tent, but in the current situation, even with a tent, it wouldn't work; it would be no different from sleeping in the water.

Tongtong knew Yezi had parked, but after waiting for a while and not seeing Yezi get in the car, she peeked out through a crack in the curtain and saw Yezi standing dumbfounded in the rain. She quickly called out:

"Yezi, get in the car! What are you doing standing in the rain?"

Ye Zi turned around, walked to the carriage shaft, and replied:

"You rest, don't worry about me."

Tongtong showed her face and shouted:

"Are you planning to stand there until the rain stops? What time is it and you're still thinking about all that nonsense? Hurry up and get on."

The leaves didn't move. I looked up at the sky, hoping to see a sign that the rain had stopped.

Tongtong lifted the curtain slightly and called out:

"Get on quickly, don't make me go out to get you."

Ye Zi scratched her head, then stepped onto the vehicle, leaving her raincoat outside before entering the canopy herself.

Yezi sat down with her back against the curtain, while Tongtong sat a little behind on the cart. The two looked at each other in silence, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

"I should have just made the tent," Ye Zi said casually to ease the awkwardness.

"Making a tent is useless. In this kind of weather, unless it's a waterproof tent, it will leak."

"Hehe." Ye Zi gave an awkward laugh, then said:

"I didn't expect the rain to last this long."

"That's for sure. After six months without rain, the first rain will definitely last longer."

Then I didn't know what to say.

Ye Zi suddenly noticed that the drone parked in the corner of the carriage was flashing a red light, and asked in confusion:

"What's going on with this thing? Why is the light flashing?"

Tongtong turned her head and glanced at it, then said:

"It's probably running out of power and is reminding us to change the batteries."

Upon hearing Tongtong's words, Yezi immediately remembered that the drone in front of her had flown over during dinner last night.

The drones usually change shifts every night when we eat, but tonight, because of the rain, the drones didn't have time to change shifts.

The drone can film for a whole day, including in between, but it can still last for a full day and night. That standby time is incredible.

"We don't have any batteries, and we don't know if the rescue team and the crew following behind will come and deliver batteries."

Tongtong shook her head and said:

"It's really hard to say. They're driving, and it's probably going to be difficult in this kind of weather. If they get stuck, you'll probably become part of the rescue team."

Although it was a joke, Tongtong made a lot of sense. Yezi was strong and more useful than all of them combined, plus there was Dahei, who could also tow the truck.

Let alone just getting the cart stuck, we could even pull them away without any problem. After all, Big Black has a few wives.

Time passed in silence. Ye Zi and Tong Tong sat in the tent of the car after they made up. If it weren't for the drone's night vision function, the viewers in the live broadcast room would have started making all sorts of guesses at this point.

Finally, the drone's indicator lights stopped flashing, and the work indicator lights went out.

Tongtong yawned, and Yezi opened the curtain to look at the weather outside. The rain was still pouring down, showing no signs of letting up.

Tongtong whispered:

"Sleep...sleep. We can't stay up until dawn. What if the rain still hasn't stopped by then? Are we supposed to stay up until the rain stops?"

"Okay...okay."

Ye Zi stammered a reply, and Tong Tong chuckled, then said:

"You get shy too?"

"That's called awkward."

"Alright, whether it's shyness or embarrassment, we need to sleep, otherwise we'll waste time traveling."

Ye Zi turned around and fumbled around for a moment, then tied the two small ropes on the curtain together, picked up the axe and pressed it down under the curtain to prevent wind and rain from getting in.

Then, with the curtain above his head, he lay down against the car canopy.

Tongtong lay down against the other side of the car canopy.

"Good night."

"Good night."

Ye Zi could clearly hear Tong Tong's rapid heartbeat. Not knowing what to say, she just counted the heartbeats and fell asleep without realizing it.

Tongtong could also hear Yezi's heartbeat, but she didn't know what to say either. She lay quietly until Yezi's heartbeat returned to normal and her breathing became steady, knowing that Yezi had fallen asleep.

...

The moment the live stream was shut down, the viewers immediately went wild. The night vision function allowed them to see what Tongtong was doing through the leaves, but now everything was gone.

Immediately, those with a sense of excitement posted comments on the screen, claiming that a wild couple was about to be born.

Then she was bombarded with criticism from Tongtong's fans, while some people posted comments demanding that the production team send someone to deliver batteries or replace the drone.

Others called the production team and made the same request.

The domestic production team immediately suggested to the overseas team that they find a way to fix the video issue.

The foreign program team is also dealing with this issue, but some people in charge are considering the dangers of sending batteries.

Not long after, a message was sent to the person in charge's phone, and the person in charge immediately agreed to replace the drone.

They then notified the rescue team that was following Ye Zi, and the team immediately arranged for someone to deliver the item, while the others stayed in the tent to continue resting.

Their tents are not only waterproof, but also have folding beds inside, so there's no worry about rain. They're actually military equipment, and one tent can accommodate all of them.

The person sent to deliver the batteries looked reluctant, but an order is an order, and he had to go whether he wanted to or not.

One or two young white men left, leaving two middle-aged men, one black and one white, in the tent. They looked at each other, the white man lay down to continue resting, and the black man got up, poured himself a cup of coffee, and sat down to wait.

They exhibited a clear military discipline, always having someone on guard whenever they were in the field.

Upon receiving the feedback, domestic live streaming platforms immediately posted messages on their official websites and in their live streams to reassure viewers and ask them to wait.
